Shugengan Lord without wings

When I mounted the first of the two that I have on the list, I saw that I liked it much more without wings and I think it fits more with the Chinese dragon style that is Miao Ying (which I have thought of painting as Mushu de Mulan hahahaha)

....so close

I used to play Empire and was thrilled for CoS to get the cool walking fort. I was safe knowing I would not be tempted. Then I was reminded...

New ranged units any good?

Hey all! Not a Cathay player myself, but I have pre-ordered the Ironhail/Crane-gunner box for when it comes out next week. I am a commission converter, and will be using the bodies as part of a build I'm very keen to work on, but that will mean I have a lot of the other components spare to potentially make something else, or move on to others that could use them themselves! So, long story short, are one of the units better than the other, are either any good/sought after, and do you think there would be people who would want, say, the blunderbusses to convert up their own existing minis (jade warriors or peasants) to the ironhails?

Been loving some of the work yall are doing on here btw, such a great range!

Having completed my nurgle warriors army recently, I wanted something I could really take my time on. These new sculpts are really something, slow going but I'm pleased with the results so far.

Unit render in color (AI)

Hello I updated my unit renders in color.

The Files are avaible on MyMiniFactory.

DISCLAIMER:

I used an AI tool to add color to my 3D renders. This is only to show how the models might look in color. However, the AI often makes small changes to the geometry. Therefore, the uncolored render should be considered the original.

So I'm playing at. 1250 point , would like some feedback on the below .

Opponent wise there's zero cannons in the factions I'll be facing , a decent amount of undead armies , elves and chaos aligned forces .

The sentinel is there to support along side the jade warriors .

Peasants mainly to sit back in skirmish and pepper stuff .

And due to the higher amount of horde armies the mag on lantern for the higher shot volume .

Lots of regen in the armies I'll be facing so I've taken the magic sword on the shun .

Painted the first test model for my army of Po Mei and entered it into my local stores painting comp. Walked away with best non-40K/AoS model 😁

I was so nervous to paint anything with skin tones coming from 40k as a tau player but they turned out much better than any tau model I’ve ever done 🤣

I just built Miao, and wanted to tear my hair out. Now i've come to the cathayan sentinel and I'm staring at the instructions like they are in another language.

Are there any tips or guides on how to put this monstrosity together? I couldn't even get past putting together the feet and legs because nothing was going right.
